hen — or if — cashless tolling starts on the 520 Bridge in December, it will be one of the most audacious things that’s ever happened to state transportation.

It’ll affect hundreds of thousands of people on the Eastside and Seattle.

It’ll put tolls on what’s now a free route across Lake Washington.

In theory, all sorts of formal mechanisms exist for people to meet and talk over the issues of the day, places like Kirkland City Council meetings and land-use forums.

Then there’s reality, places where people really do bump into each other and talk about the issues of the day.

Places like post offices.

Sure, countless other ways exist for people to talk things over, from coffee shops to the Internet, but the local post office is certainly one of the best-known destinations in most communities.

Now Postal Service employees, including some from Kirkland, are trying to rally support for measures that would preserve postoffice operations and change perceptions about postal problems.

“We’ve been able to deal with the invention of the telephone and telegraph. We can deal with this,” said Rick Horner, a Bellevue letter carrier who lives on Northeast 116th Street in Kirkland and has 33 years of postal service.

Horner also is the legislative committee chairperson for Branch 79 of the National Association of Letter Carriers in Seattle, which took part in a “Day of Action to Save America’s Postal Service” [ more POSTAL page 2 ]

America’s Postal Service� Tuesday on Mercer Island.

The rally was at the offices of Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Mercer Island, to urge him to support House Bill 1351 in Congress, which the union argues would deal with the main problem facing the Postal Service.

Despite widespread public perceptions that the problem stems from things like the rise of email, Horner says the real reason is 2006 federal legislation. That law required the Postal Service to pre-fund future health-care benefits for 75 years, and do it within 10 years, he said, at a cost of about $5.5 billion a year.

No other private company, or public agency, faces such a financial burden, he said, and that’s what’s leading to proposals for things like closing 3,700 post offices, ending Saturday delivery or firing 120,000 employees.

In Kirkland, which Horner estimates has about 150 postal employees, such actions could lead to about 17 percent staffing cuts,

About 40 Postal Service workers rallied at Congressman Dave Reichert’s office on Mercer Island Tuesday to urge him to support legislation resolving post office financial problems. REBECCA MAR, Reporter Newspapers putting about 20 people or more out of work.

He said the intent of the rally, plus others held at congressional offices across the country, was to urge Reichert to sign House Bill 1351, and also to motivate the public to become involved in discussions about saving the USPS.

Gardiner and Greenway emphasized the need for sustainable revenue, such as new businesses, both in the form of retail/restaurants and high-tech corporations that provide good jobs for citizens.

Next, the forum shifted toward the recent annexation and what must be done to ensure that the union is successful. This round, candidates lightened up the dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing we can do is learn how to dance,â&#x20AC;? Asher said, highlighting the importance of effective, two-way communication between the government and its constituents. Sternoff later agreed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do need to learn how to dance. Not with Dave (Asher) though.â&#x20AC;?

The comment was met with laughs.

Gardiner and Greenway encouraged the audience to communicate with their representatives until policies change. Greenway reminded listeners that representatives are in place to help residents get organized in their new city.

Nixon urged residents to hold the government to its commitments, citing a

Northshore utility tax that was higher than promised.

The most passionate topic centered on the management of Kirkland park lands.

All candidates supported the city taking ownership of Big Finn Hill Park and the maintenance of O.O. Denny Park, both in the new neighborhoods. However, they also noted that an arrangement needed to be negotiated about who would pay for park upkeep.

When pressed for their philosophy about developing forested park land on Finn Hill, all contenders agreed again. The summative phrase was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a forest is lost, we never get it back.â&#x20AC;?

Concessions were made when questioned about the potential construction of a fire station on a corner of Big Finn Hill Park. Sternoff reminded the audience of the necessity to balance the environment with public safety. Nixon said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use those kinds of sites only for essential public facilities and only as a last resort.â&#x20AC;?

Greenway noted that four other sites are also being analyzed as potential locations for the fire station.

The King County Council District 6 candidates took the floor next. Candidates were asked about their county budget priorities. Hague admitted that the county has budget issues, but was

optimistic about the lengths the county is taking to bridge the structural gap.

Mitchell was much more critical of the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a long-term challenge that the county has of looking at its mandated, required services ... and those that are discretionary,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The opponents agreed on renewing the King County parks levy, as well as helping Kirkland use a purchased portion of the railroad corridor for a cross-Kirkland trail.

Above, About 100 residents packed St. John Vianney Catholic Church for a candidate forum on Sept. 21. The event included all Kirkland City Council candidates for the three open seats, as well as candidates for King County Council Position 6.

Take action now to keep Postal Service running

Question of the week: “Do you think tolling on the 520 Bridge will begin in December?”

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last week’s poll results: “Will you attend one of the upcoming candidates’ forums?”

Yes: 30% No: 69%

.S. Postal Service workers nationwide are saying they don’t want a bailout – they just want to get the mail out.

The agency has long survived technological change, from the telephone, telegraph, fax machine and the Internet, where people can send email instead of conventional letters.

But the Postal Service, which lost $8.5 billion last year, is now struggling so much that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due today (the end of the USPS fiscal year) to a federal retiree health care trust fund.

Desperate to steer the agency from defaulting on its employee pension obligations and to cut billions from its payroll, the Postal Service is proposing to cut Saturday mail delivery and close thousands of post offices. More than 120,000 postal workers could also lose their jobs, including 20 people or more in Kirkland.

Of the 32,741 post offices in the U.S., the Postal Service is reviewing about 3,700 for possible closure – or nearly 10 percent. Six of those offices are in Washington state: Kent, Seattle, Spokane, Yakima and two in Tacoma.

Congress should take emergency action and stabilize the agency’s finances.

During a rally on Tuesday at congressional districts throughout the country, including Kirkland’s Eighth District, postal workers petitioned and informed people about house bill 1351.

The measure is in response to a 2006 congressional mandate that the Postal Service pre-fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years – and do so within a decade. That’s $5.5 million each September out of the agency’s operating budget for the health benefits of people who haven’t been born yet, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers.

The bill would give the Postal Service access to the billions of dollars Congress forced it to set aside for pre-paid pension benefits.

In an already-strained economy, it does not make economic sense for an agency to provide such benefits to future workers.

Alternatives to this bill are not in the best interest of residents, communities and local businesses, let alone the future of USPS. The agency is a centerpiece of a $1.3 trillion mailing industry that supports 8 million jobs.

It’s time for Congress to protect those jobs by worrying about present - not future - workers.

City replacing damaged inpavement lights with crossing flags (In response to a Sept. 15 letter). The City of Kirkland is a leader in innovative crosswalk treatments.

Kirkland was the first city outside of California to begin using in-pavement lights nearly 15 years ago, and Kirkland is the first U.S. city to use pedestrian crossing flags.

Use of both of these crosswalk enhancements, in-pavement lights and crossing flags, have since spread across the country to cities large and small. They are similarly effective methods of improving safety at crosswalks and both are used in a variety of situations throughout Kirkland.

One drawback to the more expensive method, in-pavement lights, especially the earlier models like those installed along 124th Avenue by King County, is that they are prone to damage by vehicles, surrounding pavement failure, and weather. When they fail, it is sometimes impossible to repair them in a cost effective manner.

Over the years Kirkland has

adopted a policy to manage the damaged systems in a costconscious manner. Currently, when more than 50 percent of the lights in either direction fail or there is damage to the control system and it cannot be readily or cost effectively repaired, the system is taken out of service, and the crosswalk is solely supplemented with crossing flags.

This was the situation at the crosswalks on 124th Avenue. Too many heads had failed, and the system was taken out of service.

A recent development in crosswalk safety that Kirkland has been exploring is a new LED based system of flashers that are mounted on roadside signs and activated by a pedestrian push button. These devices are known as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons or RRFB’s. Testing and research by the Federal Highway Administration has shown them to be very effective at warning drivers that pedestrians are present.

Since the RRFB’s are not installed in the pavement and use parts that are widely available, they are more durable, long-lasting, and easier (i.e. less expensive) to repair than the early in-pavement systems.

The City of Kirkland will soon be installing four RRFB’s

systems. Based on results from this first group of replacements, and depending on funding availability, other RRFB’s will be programmed to be installed to replace failed in-pavement lights over time.

Maintaining safe crosswalks is a high priority of the Kirkland City Council, and the city is continually evaluating cost effective and innovative methods to help ensure the continued safety of Kirkland’s numerous pedestrians.

David Godfrey, Transportation Engineering manager

Bob Sternoff did violate laws Council candidate Toby Nixon wrote a letter published Sept. 2, stating that “the investigation determined that Bob Sternoff didn’t violate any city or state laws.”

In fact, the Sherman Report of Oct. 2, 2009, documented evidence of violations of three sets of city codes and state laws.

They are: 1. Use of public facilities for political activity; 2. 452 personal emails, over six council meetings, which violated prohibition of non-minimal personal use;

3. Seven emails expressing ill will and ridiculing citizens and other council members.

State law includes remedies that could refer these violations to a state or local prosecutors.

Other city employees have been reprimanded and/or fined in similar instances. The report recommends that the city determine the appropriate action with the enforcement used in previous cases.

The fact that the council voted 7-0 to not pursue any further action does not clear Mr. Sternoff of the documented violations. So claims that he broke no laws are untrue.

Mr. Sternoff ’s contempt for those citizens (item 3) who come before the council to make comments or offer testimony should not be tolerated. His language of “morons, f*%#&ing morons” and threats such as “I keep forgetting my gun” and “may I strangle her now?” are unacceptable from a public official sitting in an official capacity during a city council meeting. Since the council has taken no action, we the voters should reject him for another term on council.

And for candidate Toby Nixon to defend his actions argues against his election as well.

[6] September 30, 2011 [ TOLLS from page 1] most complex in the tolling industry,” is how an Expert Review Panel summed it up in an August report.

“The requirements they have established go beyond anything in place today.

Implementing this system far exceeds the difficulties experienced by most toll agencies,” the panel added.

With a cost estimated at $4.65 billion, redoing the Highway 520 corridor, including the bridge, will be one of the most expensive road projects in history. The record is held by Boston’s “Big Dig,” put at $22 billion, but redoing I-90 from Seattle to Bellevue in the 1980s came to $1.46 billion and Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement is projected at $3.1 billion. About $1 billion of the 520 cost is to be paid through tolling.

Whether the 520 tolling will work is unknown. Tolling was supposed to start nearly a year ago, but the review panel, made up of six tollingindustry experts, found that schedule never was realistic.

And one panel member, Ron Fagan, who spent 14

years running Texas toll roads, has precisely described what can go wrong: “You can lose a lot of money doing this if you don’t have the basics right — and there are certain critical operational aspects that you need to understand before you take the risk of just switching to allelectronic because that’s the sexy new thing,” Fagan wrote in explaining why he was going into private consulting.

At the same time, cashless tolling undeniably is foreseen as the way to move people in places as divergent as Australia, South Africa and Florida.

It also offers undeniable benefits: Drivers don’t even have to slow down to pay tolls, so choke points disappear. No expensive salaries have to be paid for toll collectors. Chances for human error are reduced. No huge piles of money have to be counted and physically handled.

Yet making the systems work to allow those benefits can be nearly overwhelming.

“You can’t get it wrong,” said Tyler Patterson, Washington State Department of Transportation toll

something of a technological wonder.

They come in versions that can be mounted on places like a windshield or a license-plate holder and tests have shown they’ll even work if they’re stuck in a glove compartment.

They’ve even become so cheap that Samuel says it might soon be easier to give them away than charge for them; they used to cost about $25 each, but now they’re down to as low as $1.25 apiece.

And while once transponders were kind of clunky, box-like things, now they’re barely bigger than a credit card.

Even worries about issues like batteries are in the past.

Present-day transponders use something called “passive backscatter” for their power, meaning the signal that reads the transponder information also powers the transponder itself.

Drivers can see some indications of how the system will work just by driving across the bridge. The antennas and cameras and most of the other visible equipment to al-

“My personal feeling is they’re trying to do too many things at once,” said Peter Samuel, a former newspaper reporter who’s found a niche as a toll-road expert through publishing a newsletter called TOLLROADSnews for the past 15 years.

In any case, the state DOT finds itself dealing with three tolling projects at once, on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Highway 167 in the Green River Valley and now 520.

At the least, just the technical work involves sorting out systems that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.

How tolling works The basic concept for tolling 520, which carries over 100,000 vehicles a day, involves two types of charges.

One’s called “Good To Go.” That’s induced more than 100,000 people to pay a minimum of $30 to buy “Good To Go” transponders, partly through clever TV ads. The transponders themselves are

low tolling has been installed on girders of the East High Rise, the transition section that leads from 520’s floating pontoons to land in Medina.

Even that was something of a compromise, said Patterson. When the 520 route opened in 1963, it had toll booths on land, just east of the bridge.

But the land there is virtually unusable for such installations now, he added, with nearly all of it torn up for construction. And putting the gear on the bridge itself, where it would be over water on pontoons, also wasn’t very desirable, leading to the temporary high-rise location.

All of it’s scheduled to be replaced when a new bridge is opened, now planned for 2014. For all their golly-howcool characteristics, however, the transponder concepts might be considered fairly straightforward.

The theory is that people establish an account and pay for a transponder, probably with a credit card, and when they cross the bridge, a signal is sent and a toll is deducted from their account. Get near [ more TOLLS page 12 ]

Lake Washington beat Mount Si Tuesday, winning 2-0 at home.

In the first half, neither team could connect to score, but Lake Washington came out strong in the second half, taking possession and pressuring with the ball.

The Kangs scored the first goal in the 54th minute off a set play following a foul

by Mount Si. Jessie Zogg made the free kick from the 50-yard line, which made its way to Kaita Brixey and on to Emma Holm. Mount Si goalie Courtney Cowan punched the ball out, only to have it bounced into the net by a running Shelby Bergren.

It wasn’t until the 78th minute the team scored again. This time Cassie Lively threw the ball to Holm, drawing out the defense, before passing to Emily Bunnell who scored.

On Thursday, the Kangs hosted Liberty, losing 2-1.

Bunnell scored the team’s only goal in the 27th minute, assisted by Bergren. Liberty scored 10 minutes later to tie the game, and both teams fought it out until Liberty

Some of the best things you can do to when you’re getting back into school must be done during the summer.

Jennifer Reubish, a kindergarten teacher at Peter Kirk Elementary said, “I suggest you set aside a little bit of study or learning time every day even during vacation to help yourself get back into the routine.”

Reubish also suggests that after school, you leave yourself 30 minutes to relax before you do your homework.

But don’t put it off too long!

Doing homework when you are tired can make you angry or frustrated. Sophia Beams,

Back to the books N

ow that summer is over and school has started up again, it’s back to the books!

For some people it is much harder to get back into the school routine than for others.

Of course, you have to get back into your sleep schedule, get to school on time, make sure you have all your things, get your homework done, and so forth. If you’re like me, getting back into the school routine takes a little time.

Kirkland Off Leash Dog Group and the City of Kirkland have set an ambitious schedule to get the new dog park in the Totem Lake area open before the end of the year. Realizing that the window of opportunity provided by our Northwest weather will be closing in November if not sooner, KDOG is putting out a call for volunteers particularly those with construction experience for help in completing the first phase of the 1.24 acre dog park.

Work parties will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 8; and 1-4 p.m. Oct. 15 and Oct. 22. The park is located at a vacant property just west of the Kirkland Municipal Court building near the intersection of 113th Avenue N.E. and N.E. 120th St. in the Totem Lake neighborhood.

Participants should dress for the weather, bring heavy loppers, a shovel, wear boot and work gloves. All visitors are asked to use street parking and walk via the path to view the site. For information, visit www.kdog.org.

nity Center, 12421 103rd Ave. N.E., Kirkland, Room 1.

The presentation is sponsored by KDOG, and is being given by Sandy Dain, owner of Metamorphosis Pet Training. Please leave your dog at home as this seminar is for humans only. To RSVP, email kdog@kdog.org.

York and New Jersey to handle tolling on four bridges and two tunnels, carrying 242 million vehicles a year, dwarfing Washington State traffic.

ETC declines to discuss what problems it’s facing in making back-office functions work. But Mark Hallenbeck, director of the University of Washington’s transportation research center, describes what’s essentially an accounting morass.

Whatever software is used, he explained, has to keep track of everything from expiring credit-card dates to matching cars and owners so bills can be mailed, involving tracking ownerships through 50 states and even internationally, perhaps to Canada or elsewhere.

“The lookup process is pretty ugly,” he said.

Then there are such questions as how to handle after-thefact billing, since charges are sent after the bridge crossings.

“Do you send 20 bills?” if the crossings are made over a period of days, he asked. “Here’s where the reconciliation process gets difficult.” Such questions are simple and obvious issues compared to what’s really involved, he added.

“Details of how you track this internally are 16 times more difficult,” he said.

“The problem is internal software, and it’s cascading downwards,” he said. “It’s going to take longer and cost more than we ever anticipated.”

It’s an Oracle-based database that’s being used to track the information, said Patty Rubstello, DOT’s director of toll systems development and engineering, with data then imported into another tool. “We’re plugging along,” said Rubstello, who explained that she can’t specifically comment on the reconciliation progress.

Whether ETC can meet the December schedule hasn’t been resolved, of course, and the deadline really is earlier, with 30 days or more of successful testing needed before tolling begins.

“During the last week of this process, nearly every user of SR 520 should be identified and determination made as to any additional support needed for the go-live period,” concluded the Expert Review Panel.

In August, DOT announced it was focusing on meeting audit reporting standards and other requirements.

“We’re also planning for several weeks of testing that will start after those reports are refined, followed by a final month of testing that will serve as a dress rehearsal,” said Craig Stone, DOT Toll Division director.

If, somehow, it doesn’t all work out by December, the Expert Review Panel also had some other words of advice. “Recognize the worst-case issues ... and develop corrective actions to take if they are experienced,” the panel recommended. “Anticipate the need to operate more of the system without vendor support and know what is needed to accomplish this.”

Kumon, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest after-school math and reading enrichment program, opened a center in Kirkland at 385 Kirkland Ave. (across from the Kirkland Performance Center).

The Kirkland Chamber of Commerce held a grand opening ribbon-cutting event, with Kirkland Councilman Bob Sternoff, on Sept. 15.

and reading skills independently and gaining confidence through Kumonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Method of Learning. The Kumon Center of Kirkland joins the more than 1,300 U.S. instructors committed to helping children excel through the ability-based program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Kumon, we believe children have unlimited potential to succeed,â&#x20AC;? said small business owner, Peter Youngs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw the success of Kumon with my own two daughters. I am now eager to bring the power of the Kumon Method to the children of Kirkland.â&#x20AC;?

In a recent report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching Math to the Talented,â&#x20AC;? published in Education Next, American students were significantly outperformed by 33 countries including Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea,

and Finland. Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of advanced students impacts the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future economic growth and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Youngs cares deeply about helping Kirkland students in his after-school enrichment program. More than half of U.S. Kumon students study advanced math, and 24 percent of these students are learning materials two to three years above their grade level.

Youngs saw his own two daughters develop a love of learning in Kumon, as well as discipline, accuracy, and mastery of computational skills. As a result of his daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success, he was inspired to open his own Kumon Center.

Prior to opening Kumon of Kirkland, Youngs earned a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Education from Seattle University.
